For love and romance, Romeo and Juliet, stand out even in Hi-fashioned world,

Doubtlessly you’re not only the poet of your Century but also for all ages;

If Enobarbus called Antony as ‘the garland of war’ on his fall,

It’s so apt to call you as ‘the garland of English’.

Note: I wrote this poem to honour William Shakespeare, who has played a significant role in shaping the English.

Nowhere, I mentioned his name; but whoever knows about him and his writings can easily identify him in this poem. Indeed, he is worthy to be called as the scholar of scholars — which is a regard I have for him.
